Where can I find an ISO file that I can place on my desktop, or is it necessary for me to create one?

tenforums tutorial on downloading an iso file to install Win 10.
MS media creation tool. Google.
Any large file- a large video file would do. Doesn't have to be an iso. Just big enough to give enough time to capture the transfera few seconds after it starts- and neat to be able to cancel before it completes.
I'm baffled about how to copy from desktop to the same desktop. Copying from one drive to another I understand, but to copy a file from a location to the same location is something I don't know how to do.
For a HDD, that looks ok.. presumably that's your laptop.
Does your desktop also use a HDD? Or a SSD?
And how long does that take from cold boot to lock screen?
(There are other factors of course that affect boot time).
For a cold boot it takes 3 minutes before the Windows request for password appears.
Then it takes another 90 seconds for the desktop to appear. It has a HD.
=> your desktop and laptop actually behave identically. At least, that's how you've answered my question...
Oops, I misread your question.
For the destop 33 seconds to the password screen and 6 seconds to the desktop with full functionality. It has a SSD.
On the laptop, I should mention that in addition to the time take to get to the desktop, it then continues accessing the hard drive for another 30 seconds or so before anything can be run from the desktop.
The laptop times are typical for a HD.
This 8 year-old laptop with a SSD takes around 9s from cold boot to lock screen.
How much HD activity there is to desktop display depends on startups. Even with a SSD this can take noticeable time.
